Fish eye is a known Issue with most VSF Subs.
382 has it - same as gen
Current Gen subs don't have it.

47mm VSF Subs have it and you need to replace the crystal. Don't know if the crystals are still available.

The new 1323 and 1324 reps from VSF/SBF don't have it.

I'm sold. I think I'll get this over the 683.

The patina on the bezel indices of my VSF 1074 has started to turn a pumpkin orange. I know every patina is different but just curious if anyone is experiencing the same. Still loving it!

Hey @samsoniteman, just luck that I read your message above while doing a little Pam Bronze 1950 research, and stumbled across this on Chrono24, a gen bronze Pam 382 which had a distinct orange patina. It seems this could be normal!

Thanks @tkakanowski ! Its funny, I started wearing it a little more and now its less pumpkin orange and back to a similar shade as the rest of the bezel. I'm diggin' it either way.

Hey Gents, the Gen 1074 does not have the “fish eye” effect.

I had Prof install one of his crystals (I’m lucky enough to be in conus and shipping was quick) and it takes this watch to a whole new level. It’s already an amazing watch but adding a Prof crystal makes the dial pop even more and removes the fish eye effect.

Finally got one. First PAM rep in years. Perfect size. Bronzo is interesting. Don’t understand the hate for the rep strap. Overall, not quite at the same level as legendary Noob releases such as 088 or 243 but not far behind.
Like it, perhaps a lot.
